Cups (Jerry’s Gone)

With apologies to Anna Kendrick and coffee drinkers everywhere

 

He filled the ticket for the Tories, then

He went and pissed his chance away

He got caught on tape by the CBC

Kicked off that ticket in a day

 

Jerry’s gone, Jerry’s gone

He urinated, now he’s gone

He could have asked to use the can

I guess he had another plan

Now they dismissed him, and he’s gone

 

Jerry’s gone, Jerry’s gone

We hardly knew him, and he’s gone

You’ll never use another mug

Without inspecting it for bugs

At least he didn’t soil the rug

 

Another candidate, another freak

Made some prank calls and caused dismay

Faked a climax and pretended

Mental problems, can’t defend it

They had to send this jerk away

 

Timmy’s gone, Timmy’s gone

Fake masturbation, now he’s gone

He could have just put down the phone

He could have left YouTube alone

Now they dismissed him, and he’s gone

 

Timmy’s gone, Timmy’s gone

We hardly knew him, and he’s gone

You better screen before they run

Or they’ll put you under the gun

When clowns sign up, they get withdrawn

 

Adapated from When I’m Gone, written in 1931 by the Carter Family, adapted by Lulu & the Lampshades in 2009 and popularized by Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect in 2012.
